students' progress, processes, and performance over time.
- nickol11 on 17 Feb 18
  
  I feel like this is so important in so many classrooms but especially in a project-based class. I would be curious to see if Moodle and other LMS has a student portfolio section. I know that Schoology does and I am currently getting it ready to use for next year. Students would be able to put projects into a portfolio for a class and/or throughout their four years with myself in art as a final portfolio.

involve students in critical reflection
- nickol11 on 17 Feb 18
  
  I feel that this is imperative for us to use to keep students thinking out side of the box and really honing in on other people's opinions or ideas.

rame self-assessment as an opportunity for students to reflect on their own work with the goal of learning more, making the work better, and thereby improving the chances for a good grade
- nickol11 on 17 Feb 18
  
  I completely agree with this aspect and really feel like it is a great habit to get into as a teacher as a mid-critique of self or peer evaluated work.This really just gives an opportunity to really push the student learning even further.

Over and over again, students rejected their own judgments of their work in favor of guessing how their teacher or professor would grade it.
- nickol11 on 17 Feb 18
  
  I can see this being a larger problem if they are using a rubric and the criteria are not well defined or the students have a poor understanding of what/they are doing what they are doing.

teachers and students receiving frequent feedback.
- nickol11 on 06 Feb 18
  
  This is so important to provide feedback in any form not only to students but I also feel its important for teachers to use it as feedback for ourselves. In addition, especially with older students, it may be impactful to have students provide you with feedback to the formative assessment - did it work, how could it be modified to make more sense or meet their learning styles, etc.

criteria
- nickol11 on 06 Feb 18
  
  I truly feel that this is essential in having students really understand and give them the best chance for proficiency from the start. From the get-go, students need to know what it is they are trying to achieve and perhaps a road map of how they may get there. That road map may not be specific to induce problem-solving and creativity but it will prompt their direct. In addition, I feel it is important to model examples for students that have used the criteria well, not so well and middle ground.

constructive feedback to each other,
- nickol11 on 06 Feb 18
  
  I feel like this can be the most challenging for students. They sometimes don't want to feel like they are "judging" or being "judged". It is important for them to realize what constructive criticism is and that is ok to give and receive feedback.

achiev[ing a] new vision of statistics education.
- nickol11 on 31 Jan 18
  
  This is also true for the review systems for many companies. As I talk more and more with my friends outside of education, they talk of the rubrics that are used for their evaluation processes. I think that it is important as we teach students that they are able to relate their learning to rubrics as someday they will have to transfer that knowledge and understanding to their someday job/career.

a clear understanding of how rubrics operate
- nickol11 on 31 Jan 18
  
  I really feel like many times when teachers are lost building rubrics they really need to zero in on the criteria needed to meet each indicator level. That said, they also need to model and communicate these items with their students.

wrote poorly when writing, as we might say, to the rubric
- nickol11 on 31 Jan 18
  
  Have we considered to present the assignment to the students with the criteria THEN midway through the creative process bringing in the rubric so that students can assess their own work but still not lose their individuality?

Do the students find the rubric helpful?
- nickol11 on 31 Jan 18
  
  I always find it helpful that in designing my rubrics (especially now when our school is building learning targets, assessment plans and more rubrics) that I test them out in my classrooms. They not only provide me feedback to student learning but I also have students provide me feedback as to how they are written, what I can change or add to make them work better for them. It also gives them even further buy-in to what you are doing in the class, as well and shows that you respect that there may be changes in learning but you are there for the student.

overflow of testing
- nickol11 on 21 Jan 18
  
  I couldn't agree more with this statement. I feel like every other week we are testing our students through MAP, Iowa Assessments, etc. I am also from a TAP school so we are doing Pre/Post/Strategy testing in our rooms, as well.

The four categories of learning targets are

  This is the main goal of our current district. I find this information to be really important as there are so many items and content areas being assessed. I feel it is important to look and asses in all of these areas for our students to really make sure they are learning the items we are giving them.

Are results communicated in time to inform the intended decisions?
- nickol11 on 21 Jan 18
  
  I feel that this is an essential part of teaching in addition to that of learning targets. Students must know where they are going before they start. They need a glimpse of what may be expected of them and possibly what not to do, as well.

performance assessment and personal communication,

  I agree that we should see more performance based assessments with much for feedback for students. As we know each student is different this type of assessment create and opportunity for a student to create something to showcase their learning. Many times they will become more engaged and will retain much more information in the long gun. I am curious if some teachers stray away from these assessments?

- nickol11 on 11 May 17
  
  This is a huge component to any classroom whether it is a traditional, flipped for fully online learning environment. Students need to be aware of what they are doing online, what others can do with that information and how to interact with others in this environment in a safe way.

including rubrics for student performances
- nickol11 on 11 May 17
  
  In teaching art, rubrics are an essential grading tool in summative assessments. It is very helpful to have this information available to students before they start their learning. That way they know the direct route they are going, can reflect on modifications they may need to make to reach mastery, etc.
